Well just to know your opinion on it, because with what we knows so far, IMO this game looks pretty bad.

1st, only 3 characters and only girls: well where is the variety Mr Square? the number is really cheap IMO and don't says that the job change will bring variety, because it don't change the characters himself...
5 or 6 characters with male should have been a better Idea and I hope they will add some before the game is finished.

2nd no summons! AAAARRRGGGG!!!! IMO the only rules that they have to never brake in a FF!!
I mean if I play them it a big part because of the summons, they're my favorit technic in the RPG so, and they put summon since FF4, it' not now the time to remove it, at least in the FFXI the can (I don't care about online game!!) but even this one got some so...bring back a new summon system quick!!! (FFX player will understand..)

3rd before making a sequel to this one, there is some other FF game who where waiting for it since a longer time, like FF7, FFtactic (Home version not handheld!!)
And more simply other Square game like the seiken desetsu (once again HOME port not stupid tiny screen!!) vagrant story....

Change is good in game series, but to much change NO!! in a serie there is some things that you can change, remove, add, and soem that you can touch or it kill the soul of the game...I think that for this one Square tuch what the never have to...

Well this FF takes a bad way IMO, but what did you think about it.

Depends on how the game turns out for me. If they can make strong female characters... which I doubt from square, they always had problems with that... but hopefully the game won't turn into three stupid women whinning.

No problem about the limited character lineup, and summons only are eyecandy after all.

If the whole costume/job system turns out to be true (I've seen it reported in multiple places although it might just be a rumor building off itself) I won't have a problem with the limited characters. I'm not totally sold on the idea yet, but I think there's promise and hopefully it will turn out well.

I'm actually intrigued by the game myself, as it seem to has a few new and unique ideas to add to the gameplay. If Square can properly add them to the FF gameplay, and keep the characters intresting, then they might have a really solid and good game...

And I say good riddance to summons. After FF6 they've become nothing but CGI candy...

From what I've seen so far, as well as my dislike for FFX, I'm not impressed. Could be good though.

The tweaks to the combat system sound nice, I'm always for spicing up the old turn-based battlin'... but other than that I don't have much interest in it.

I haven't really been too keen on a FF game since FFVII, although I finished VIII and IX. I rented X to check it out, that's it.

About the three characters... most FF's these days have a three character limit anyway, so why not just stick the same goddamn three in there the whole time? In theory they could develop each character more this way, and have a tighter relationship between the group members... but eh. I have the feeling I'll pass on this one too.

The FF games I'm excited about are XI (for what it is), FFTA, and FFXII (Matsuno).

I probably won't play this game anyway, but I think it's a dumb idea in some ways. The fanservicey character designs piss me off. Especially Rikku's. One of the girls looks like a female Squall, and that just shows how lazy Nomura is with his designs (or how similar they are to each other). Three characters is disappointing, but hopefully there will be more. What I'm like to see more is a return to the four party member battles. I hate having only three characters in battle.

On the other hand, some elements seem interesting. The story could be good, sound cool enough to me. No Tidus is a plus, as he's very annoying to me. The return of the class system sounds promising. No summons is a good thing to me, as they take way too much time to sit through every single time you use them. Summons shouldn't be what make Final Fantasy what it is. Like it was said before, they're more eye candy than anything.

You'd best visit. It's finally back!

I'll have to wait until I hear more info on the game. I'm sure they'll put some guys in the game. It makes sense to me that there's a bunch of girls in the game seeing how the main character is a girl.

Well, I'll say that first of all they've broken the saga's uncontinuityness continuity (

what?). And one of the things I most hate to happen to a saga is the loss of its distinctive characteristics. Luckily this time this sequel's "only" an spin-off, and not a new FF (XI or XII), but... Square's starting to worry me... :S
About the game itself, I think I'll wait more to see how it turns out to be, but I'm quite sceptical right now.
